The problem is, that I want to find these pages. I do not know them. The one in the example I found by chance. In this case I want to find users who have the word "ostfriesland" on their user page in order to organise a local meeting in Ostfriesland, which is the name of a german region: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ostfriesland People who live there, will identify with it and there is great chance, that the word will occur on their userpage. >Maybe the search index is out of date...
